You can go to any department store and see Easter Baskets already assembled for your children. They are usually more money than they are worth and full of cheap toys that do not last. So often I buy the baskets at he dollar store and fill them myself. I find this way I can gear them more towards my children. Control the amount of sugary treats in them and put some real thought. Items I usually put in the baskets are candy, outdoor toys like bubbles, skipping ropes and games. I also love to include cute socks, pretty hair ties or other Spring items. I try to keep costs pretty low for these baskets as well.
This year I only have one child who will be getting an Easter Basket. The older kids will probably just get a chocolate bunny. Hasbro Canada has some fun ideas for Easter baskets and I chose a few for ours.
Mousetrap Game
For ages 4 + this fun classic game is a bit different than I remember. We love the mouse characters it comes with. A fun family game for all!
Product Description:
Snap the trap and win at Mousetrap! Run through the maze as Sneakers Mouse, Nacho Mouse or Pepper Mouse spins on the cheesy spinner. When one of your friends’ mouse is in the cheesy trap area and you land on the right space, you’ve got a chance to catch them in the zany trap made of Hungry Hippo and Girafalaff contraptions. Keep scurrying and scampering until someone gets caught. If you’re the first to trap a mouse, you win!
Mousetrap and all related characters are trademarks of Hasbro.

FurReal Friends Butterscotch, My Walkin’ Pony Pet
Ages 4 + This cuddly horse gallops, makes horse like sounds and has beautiful hair children love to brush.
Product Description:
Welcome to the world of Butterscotch and her friends! This sweet little pony pet is a soft and cuddly miniature pony that responds to your touch! When you pet her, your pony moves her head in your direction or nuzzles up to you to show how much she loves you. She makes sweet pony sounds and even moves her ears! She’s always ready for a treat, and when you feed your pony friend her “”carrot,”” she makes munching sounds. She’ll be the fanciest pony in the show when you groom her soft coat with the brush. With such a caring owner, you both might win best in show!
Furby Furblings Creature (Easter)
This adorable miniature Furby communicates with our Furby Boom. The Easter colours of this cutie make him extra special.
A whole new generation of Furby creatures is about to hatch, and they need you to take care of them! This Furblings creature has a mind of its own, but it needs your love and care. You won’t do it alone, though, because it will share a special connection with your Furby Boom creature
PLAY-DOH Spring Eggs 4-Pack
No Easter basket is complete without eggs of some sort. Play-Doh is a big hit in our home. These eggs with their pastel coloured shells are great for an egg hunt of a basket. Ages 2+
